What are these called where you are?
From Fife so these are rolls. Roll on sausage, roll on bacon etc. Heard them called different things in different parts of UK.
Sneckster, 
Classic
It’s a bun
Teknikal, First name that comes to mind for me is it’s a bap.
guriinii, I switch between bap, teacake, oven bottom muffin.
And surely a roll on sausage is a roll between two sausages.
Venicon, 
Aye, Scots is a back to front language at times.
Docus, Too small for a teacake.
leraje, 
If its soft it’s a roll. If it’s hard its a bap.
grumpyoldgit, It’s a batch.
Venicon, Ohh that’s a new one to me. Where from?
grumpyoldgit, Coventry.
8InchRichard, Blaa in south east of Ireland
Cevilia, 
That’s a bap.
Legolution, Breadcake, growing up in Doncaster.
ivanafterall, 
I'm scrolling through and so far this is the only one that feels objectively wrong.
TeaHands, 
Oh jesus, here we go.
That would be a bun.
Anomander, 
"Is that what we're gonna do today? We're gonna fight?"
Finnbot, 
Rolls. They pale in comparison to the mighty Well Fired Roll though.
Venicon, That the one that is essentially charcoal and requires metal teeth?
Finnbot, It is indeed. Magic with some slice, tattie scone and an egg
breadsmasher, 
Miniature bread loaf
kaitco, Not from the UK, but that’s a roll. If it were larger, it would be a bun, but that is most definitely a roll.
TeaHands, How big is a “bun” to you then? What’s the cutoff?
kaitco, While not claiming to be any authority on the bread sciences, I’d say that a roll is roughly the size of just the palm, while a bun is closer to the size of the full hand.
A bun also passes the Burger Test: Could you easily fit a burger on this bread? If yes, it’s a bun; if no, it’s a roll.
TeaHands, makes notes
CheeseAndCrepes, See I don’t know if it’s a size thing. I think it has to do with accessorizing. If you put a filling in it, or iced it, it’s a bun. But plain it’s just a roll.
SuiXi3D, (edited ) 
US, in Texas. That is a roll.
Baba_au_rhum, It's a roll but of the inferior type, you need a crispy Morton's roll that's where it's at
ivanafterall, King's Hawaiian is my roll/bun of choice as an American.
Mr_Blott, To be a roll it has to be made of bread, not sugar 😂
ivanafterall, I'm American, my body rejects anything that's not at least 50% sugar. I go into withdrawals.
Mr_Blott, I’m sure someone will sell you some overpriced medication for that mate
ivanafterall, I couldn't afford it even if my private health insurance did cover it.
Mr_Blott, OP is from Fife, I can tell you that would be a “well-fired roll”
Edit - like these - rendallsbakery.co.uk/shop/…/well-fired-rolls-4/
dedido, It's not even burnt!
